The effect of dynamic warm-up and dynamic warm-up with PAP on muscle power and agility of girls volleyball players

One of the effective mechanisms for better jumping in athletes is the induction of PAP in the warm-up protocol. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of dynamic warming and dynamic warming with PAP on power of muscle and agility in girls’ volleyball player.

In this study, 36 female volleyball players were selected and performed two types of dynamic warm-up and dynamic warm-up with PAP using the Counterbalance method. The dynamic protocol consisted of dynamic stretching exercises and the dynamic warm-up protocol with PAP includes warm-up with dynamic stretching plus three movements: 1- Scott, 2- 10 meter running by attaching load of 5% of body weight and 3- jumping with load of 5% body weight. Then the Sargent, Bosco jump and T tests were performed before and 4, 6,9-11, and ultimately 30 minutes after the end of protocols were completed, respectively. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, dependent t-test, and linear modeling mixed with covariance at a significant level of P<0.05.

The results showed that there was no significant difference between the warming protocols in the Sargent jump and the Bosco test at any of the measurement times (P<0.005). 48 hours after exercise in both warm-ups, agility was significantly improved. Also, the dynamic warm-up with PAP showed a significant effect of group at the air time (AT) standing in 30 minutes after the end of protocol (P<0.005).

Finally, the findings of the present study show that There was no difference between dynamic and dynamic warm-up with PAP methods with PAP in power of muscle and agility in girls' volleyball player.
